Prince of Darkness Must Testify

I guess Prince of Darkness Joe Steffen is back in the Ehrlich camp since he fought unsuccessfully to quash a subpoena from a committee of the General Assembly. Steffen must have something to hide since he and the Republicans are so worried about his testimony. Recall that this is the man who Gov. Ehrlich claimed to barely know even though he had been employed in his congressional office for years. The offices of backbench House members like Ehrlich just aren't that big. Perhaps exploring the length and tightness of Steffen's relationship with Ehrlich might be a good place for the legislative committee to start grilling this hostile witness before moving on to the juicier question of Steffen's role in removing Democrats and replacing them with Republicans in state government at Gov. Ehrlich's request.
